As a result, we obtain a canonical model for the Weil representation of the symplectic group Sp(V). The main new technical result is a proof of a stronger form of the Stone-von Neumann property for the Heisenberg group. Our result answers, for the case of the Heisenberg group, a question of Kazhdan about the possible existence of a canonical vector space attached to a coadjoint orbit of a general unipotent group over finite field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2009-08-20T12:00:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite field", "finite dimensional symplectic vector space", "heisenberg group", "complex vector space", "stone-von neumann property" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 775288, "adsabs": "2007arXiv0705.4556G" } } }
